All major labor market relevant panels either in existence or being created are described to review their development, to assess their contribution to the system of employment and unemployment statistics, and to indicate opportunities for major improvements. The record of labor market research based on panel data is reviewed. One section explores the promise and limitations of the Current Population Survey viewed as a longitudinal subfile.

Sex-Role Attitudes and Employment Among Women: Dynamic Models of Continuity and Change

The authors explore the hypothesis that prior sex-role attitudes among women influence subsequent labor force behavior, which, in turn, affects later sex-role attitudes. They find that recent declines in sex-role traditionality among American women are likely to accelerate the desire for employment among whites, but that among blacks, attitudinal changes appear not to affect the future employment of current adult cohorts. For black adolescents entering the labor force, however, early market work will be important predictors of their future desire for work. Husbands' attitudes toward women's involvement in the labor market, particularly among whites, were also significant. Based on these and other findings, the authors present five public policy recommendations.

Changes in Job Status of Out-of-School Youth
In: Years for Decision, Volume 2, Manpower Research Monograph 24. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1974

Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office
Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Job Patterns; Job Satisfaction; Marital Status; Migration; Mobility; Wages

The chapter shows that the increase in rate of pay for young white women from 1968 to 1969 was almost twice that for young black women. The changes are shown to be related to occupation and education. The movement from one employer to another at that time is correlated with education, occupation, length of service in former job, rate of pay, job satisfaction, job attachment, marital status, and residence. Two noteworthy results of an employer change seem to be a higher rate of pay, and a greater perception of job satisfaction by the employees. Changes in geographic location are correlated with occupation, education, change in marital status, and prospective mobility in 1968. The consequences of changing one's geographical location seem to be a greater likelihood for change in job satisfaction and a much smaller increase in rate of pay for those who change locations than for those who did not move.

Most of the young women in the study who were enrolled in school in 1968 were also enrolled in 1969. Approximately 30 percent of those enrolled both years had revised their educational goals from 1968 to 1969. Wage changes from 1968 to 1969 were more favorable to whites (and/or those who changed employers) than blacks (and/or those who kept the same job). The consequences of geographic mobility remained unclear, and although those who moved were more likely to be employed, they were also more likely to report a lower increase in rate of pay. 'Knowledge of the world of work' shows a strong positive relationship to educational attainment and scores on mental ability tests, although the intercolor variation persists.

Knowledge of the World of Work

Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office
Keyword(s): Occupational Status; Tests and Testing; Unemployment; Wages; Work Knowledge; World of Work Test

This article analyzes young women's 'knowledge of the world of work' in 1968 and 1969. Respondents were given a ten-question test to determine their familiarity with different occupations. The results were then compared with possible determinants, such as age, color, education, and other outside influences. Of these, color and education, as well as labor force experience, seem to have the greatest effect on the test scores. Some consequences of knowing the world of work appear to be higher pay, a lower rate of unemployment, and a white-collar job.

Stability and Change in Labor Force and Employment Status among Non-Students

Cohort(s): Young Women
Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office
Keyword(s): Employment; Labor Force Participation; Marital Status; Unemployment; Work Attachment

Labor force participation of young women from 1968 to 1970 is examined using: (1) the mean number of weeks in the labor force during the 12- month period preceding the survey; (2) the percent of respondents spending 52 weeks in the labor force during the period; (3) the percent with any weeks of employment during the period; and (4) the mean number of weeks employed during the 12 months prior to a survey for those with any unemployment during the period. Just over 30 percent of the young women employed in 1968, who married between 1968 and 1970, had left the labor force by 1970. Unemployment seems to be more common and to occur for a longer time for high school dropouts than for those who completed high school. Education, however, appears to bear no regular relationship with change in unemployment experience.

About two-fifths of the young women interviewed in 1968 had changed their plans for age 35 by the time of their interview in 1970. These revised plans are consistent with observed rates of labor force participation of women aged 35-44. Also, more young women are unemployed in 1970 than in 1968. Among non-married young women who were employed in 1968, 30 percent of those who married by 1970 withdrew from the labor force as opposed to only four percent of those who remained unmarried. Almost one-half of the nonstudent employed young women changed employers at least once between 1968 and 1970, with slightly fewer blacks having done so voluntarily. Other correlates of interfirm movement are a change in marital status, change in geographical location, change in occupation or rate of pay, acquisition of training, and a change in job satisfaction.

Unemployment Experiences of Nonstudents

Cohort(s): Young Women
Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office
Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Marital Status; Minimum Wage; Occupational Status; Racial Differences; Unemployment; Wage Rates

Unemployment of young female nonstudents is examined in order to ascertain how much influence demand conditions have on unemployment and to describe some personal correlates of unemployed out-of-school young women. Marital status, age, race, and educational attainment are all shown to be related to the employment rate. Occupation, attitude, and rate of pay all appear to be related as well. The federal minimum wage affects this last factor, however, and an analysis of this has not been done.

Keyword(s): Child Care; Educational Attainment; Marriage; Occupational Attainment; Wages

This article examines the types of employment of young women and their relationship to race, marital and family status, education, and training, as well as labor market characteristics. Rate-of-pay is next examined, and is shown to correlate positively with educational attainment. Type of occupation appears to be related to rate of pay as well, although differently for whites than for blacks. Child care is also discussed.

The Transition from School to Work with Job Search Implications

Keyword(s): Job Search; Marital Status; Part-Time Work; Schooling; Transition, School to Work; Unemployment; Wages

This study adapts a human capital model of schooling and earnings to focus on the transition period. The adaptation consists of two steps. First, unemployment incidence and duration after last leaving school, but, prior to the first job taken, is included as an intervening part of the transition process. A second feature is the consideration of the extent to which job holding while in school alters subsequent unemployment and wage rates. The main results concern the unemployment and wage equations. Holding a job while in school lowers the incidence and duration of later unemployment and raises the subsequent hourly wage for both white and black youth. Full-time job effects exceed part-time job effects in both equations, and all effects are highly significant statistically.

In making the transition from school to work, most teenagers and young adults experience some periods of unemployment. The probability of experiencing unemployment, however, declines rapidly with age, suggesting that it represents a fairly short-term transitional problem. In this paper, it is shown that after controlling for related variables, early labor force status has a significant impact on subsequent employability and earnings. Jobless periods, particularly for out-of-school youth, constitute a loss which results in real disadvantage for years to come.
